Hello doctor!

Hello!
As you describe, you have had a blood test to screen for stomach cancer and the result of pepsinogen is 50.10 ng/ml. With the above information, the doctor would like to advise you as follows:
Pepsinogen (PG) is a precursor of Pepsin - an enzyme secreted by the stomach lining. There are two types of PG I and PG II. Normal value PG I >70 ng/ml; , PGII > 7.5 ng/ml. Her test value is 50/10 = 5; when PGI decreases, she may have atrophic gastritis with HP infection (current or past) but there is atrophy significance when the ratio PGI/II <= 3. Therefore, for advice For diagnosis and treatment, you need to see a gastroenterologist.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System, looking forward to meeting you in person for more specific advice. Best regards!
